************************************************** **************************
I just received word back from Mr. Winters, the Road Course Director, answering some of my questions. Check it out!


The registration form was used at the 7/21 school and was supposed to be blank where the date is when it went on the web site. Please just use that form and cross off the date. I'm working on having the site updated. once you and your members each fill out the form please fax it in to my office. If you are paying by credit card, your card will be charged on the date of the school. We will not be taking money ahead of time unless you just don't show up. Please bring your original registration form and tech sheet with you the day of the class, and if you are paying the $225 by cash or check please bring that with you also.

I would arrive around 8:30 so you have time to clean out your car and get it ready. We will be having class and open track time year round weather permitting at least once a week. As we start to get busier I will add more days per week. I will also be updating the calendar this week to add more dates for this year.

As far as payment goes the track only accepts Check/Cash or Visa/Mastercard

You will have some one on one time with your instructor as well as follow the leader type drills. Our object is to make you comfortable so you can go out there by yourself whenever you want.

There is a store about 3 miles away that sells food and has gas. I would come with a full tank of gas and you still may run out. The way I run my day you get a lot of track time.

See you Saturday
